Attention Village Residents!
Public Hearing 8/19/26
The Village of Elizabeth is looking to make improvements to the Village’s sole Water Reservoir, which provides clean water to all of the Village’s residents. The Village’s proposed project is for the renovation and resealing of the Water Reservoir. The Village is currently working to gather costs and public input about the potential improvements, which is why the Village is asking for resident feedback. The Village is inviting residents of Elizabeth to attend the Public Hearing to discuss the proposed project. The meeting will be held – August 19, 2026 at 6:45 pm. The public meeting will be held at the Village Hall – 200 E. Myrtle St. Elizabeth, IL. 61028.
The Village is looking to apply to the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity (DCEO) – Public Infrastructure grant program. This grant program can pay for up to 100% of the overall eligible project costs, which will provide the Village with financial assistance and help in stretching the Village’s revenue to complete additional projects.
For more information on the Village’s proposed project or the public information meetings, please contact the Village Clerk, Karla Rolwes, at 815-858-3911.
